Sedona Park Rangers Begin 5th Year of Community Service

Sedona AZ (July 19, 2011)-Since the City of Sedona Volunteer Park Rangers (SVPRs) in Arizona began operation on June 7, 2007, Rangers have provided over 9,500 volunteer hours of community service.  

The uniformed city rangers are seen daily in the Uptown visitor district answering visitor’s questions and are often the first responders to first aid and emergency incidents, such as traffic accidents and citizen complaints. The SVPRs are trained in first responder medical assistance, traffic control and city park patrol procedure. 

Rangers also assist with the City’s parks and recreation activities and all major community events. 

The SVPRs operate under the direction of City of Sedona Department of Parks and Recreation with three major goals:  

  • Assist the Sedona Department of Parks and Recreation in the protection of the City’s open space and provide support to the City’s recreational programs;
  • Provide a high standard of professional assistance and informational services to our visitors and residents;
  • Provide personnel support at community events and maintain a trained group of volunteers prepared to respond to emergencies.  

The rangers are currently looking for residents who are willing to take on new challenges and become part of a group of volunteers dedicated to making Sedona a better place for residents and visitors. 

An informational packet and application may be picked up at the Department of Parks and Recreation office located at Sedona City Hall, 102 Roadrunner Drive, Sedona Arizona on Monday through Thursday, 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. daily.
